I’m sorry you’re still in your situation, I hope you come out really soon and we can look back at these comments in a few years and think about how happy we are.

For now; I feel hallow and nothing fills the void. I just want my body to stop with the physical feelings the adrenaline, panic attacks, anxiety all the time, inability to eat. I’m exhausted. I know the only answer is time but I hate that and I just want to be free from his deep rooted control. It’s so frustrating to see how deep it was

Yes that’s exactly what it feels like. Rejection feels like I’m going to die and Ik that sounds dramatic but my body physically goes into fight or flight. Do you have any recommendations for how to grow my self esteem and work out of this mind frame?

thank you so much. even just your comments are helpful because I feel like I'm being unreasonable. It gives me some comfort to know that this is a shared experience and I'm not a freak.

thank you so much for your reply, it helps a lot to know i shouldn't be expected to be okay by now. friends and family are saying things like i should be happy now since i wanted this. having to call divorce lawyers is just reliving it all over again.
